Lisa,

I just try to get through that minute....

I promise you that when you start to see the results, and people start to notice, you'll want to stick to it more.

One BIG suggestion...start a journal...it's theraputic (even if I CAN'T spell) to put down your random thoughts and look at them.

Go out and look at other peoples journals... EVERYONE struggles from time to time. Give people support and you'll find people visiting your journal to give you support.

Also....try to figure out WHY you're getting discouraged. Is it a stall, something happen that day (emotional eater), want it to all disappear quicker than it arrived? If you can figure out "why" you're half way to solving the problem.

I have a thread I created for newbies....although you're not one now, there may still be something in it for you.

The thread is below...HANG IN THERE ,you've made GREAT progress. If you stick with it and get the next 33% you'll never want to go back to the way you were, and with all the supportive people here, you won't have to!!
